Clearly, Boehner could just see the desire in Obama’s eyes and decided to make the first move. Kinda like how **doorhinge** never explicitly declared his interest in sweaty, honey-bedecked men but everyone could pick up on his indirect hints. ---

What part of my request didn’t you understand? \*Quote: Originally Posted by doorhinge Let me know when Obama announces his decision as to where he plans on delivering his SOTU address from. Thanks in advance. \* In case you weren’t aware, Obama is the guy with the big ears, and Boehner is the guy with the unusually dark tan. 😃 Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it looks like all of the Democrat party and LSM rhetoric that Obama wouldn’t be invited to give the SOTU message from the floor of the House turns out to be 100% pure political horseshit. At least it gave the Obama supporters something to whine about so they wouldn’t have to think about losing so many Democrat seats in the U.S. Senate. ---

> [@doorhinge](#): > > Let me know when Obama announces his decision as to where he plans on delivering his SOTU address from. He probably won’t – and won’t it be a huge surprise\* when he just happens to show up one day in a joint session of Congress and make the speech while everyone is present! \*for doorhinge and no one else ---

It strikes me as odd that doorhinge keeps rebutting iiandyii’s honey-covered allegations by saying he’s **lying**. Anybody else would just laugh it off. By saying it’s a lie, he leaves open the possibility that iiandyii got a detail wrong. The men could actually be covered with oil instead. Plus, accusations of lying are often indicative of guilt, as such bloviating is usually done in self-defense. It also indicates that others have made the same accusations. More than one source makes it truer. ---

That certainly would explain a lot. 😃 You seem like a typical MSNBC viewer. There is only one source for your horseshit claim. Spreading the same horseshit twice doesn’t mean you have two horses. :smack: Did you ask **iiandyiiii** ’s permission before resurrecting a zombie thread that can only serve to pour salt in his old wounds? ---

> [@doorhinge](#): > > two horses. :smack: Oh joy and happiness for this thread to be back, with my great friend **doorhinge** and his very active imagination taking part once again! I see that you’ve added horses to your fantasy-arsenal. I judge thee not, for who am I to deny that you can receive great joy and pleasure from visions of burly firemen leading horses to troughs of sweet honey? Certainly not my cup of tea, but your imagination is your own, friend **doorhinge** , and go ahead and _smack_ those imaginary honey-slathered horses, and their smiling, mustachioed firemen riders, on their flanks as hard as you like. Happiness, joy, and honey-dressed-firemen to you, my lovely friend! ---

I haven’t restocked my honey jar since the last go-round, but I never did get around to shaving off the mustache, so bring it on… ---

Since we revived this zombie, did anyone notice Obama was _not_ prevented from giving his 2014 SOTU address? ---

What’s really amusing is that **doorhinge** ’s “arguments” in this thread are literally identical to those he made about Obama’s SCOTUS nominee. ---

Yeah, but that’s not surprising. What’s really amusing is how obsessed he was with refuting the “honeyed, burly man” statements. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/possible-republican-refusal-of-sotu-address/705685.md?page=12)
